Where we at with original complaint escalation?

I've had a response to my second complaint about the Tag Heuer plugs:

Thanks for contacting us regarding the BBC News website article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38904511.

I understand you believe there was no editorial reason to report on the Tag Heuer watches.Thanks for raising this issue. The BBC provides a lot of reports on business items and many products and brand names are mentioned but this isn’t an indication of trying to advertise the product.

This article was about Manchester United announcing its record quarterly revenues. Ed Woodward, executive vice chairman described it as being a “robust business model”. The article therefore included aspects of that model, including Manchester United’s partner, and the watches and their price, announced 24 hours before hand, were featured within that context, rather than to try and advertise them as you suggest.

That said, we do value your feedback about this issue. All complaints are sent to senior management and news teams every morning and I included your points in this overnight report. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.

Once again, thank you for contacting us.

Kind regards

They've also responded to the complaint about not mentioning the game v Swansea in their sport bulletins on the morning of the game, saying they need more time to investigate.

There are also other things going on behind the scenes which I don't want to talk about on here. We're definitely getting to them.

I did notice BBC teletext report on the women's cup draw. Arsenal and Spurs (who aren't even in the league) were mentioned, as well as Arsenal and Dippers I think. No mention of the double winners. But then they did do a big news article last week on signing the world's best player I suppose.

They've got a big problem with women's football, they show some England games live, normal with cock Jonathan Pearce commentating. But the coverage of the women's super league is pretty shit. Because their favourite team does not have a women's team ! Also it must be hard when the best team at the moment are from the the club you (BBC Sport) despise !

Has anyone lost their job after the Pete tweet yet?

We'll get to the bottom of it and find the worm who did this.

Probably go back home to London or Dublin and get a job there.

Or had their front garden covered with statues, takeaway pizzas etc?
